34/36 American writers, had Lacy to win over Calzaghe...

yeh but everyone couldnt praise holffield enough after that fight unlike calzaghe

So what's your point?

He's whining that people downgrade Calzaghe's win over Lacy, but people do the same for Holyfield and Tyson.

Lots of people on message boards talk about how Tyson wasn't the same post-prison and only a 4-round fighter by then, forgetting that Holyfield was the huge underdog who was considered a shot fighter in 1996.

In retrospect, both guys were past their primes, but Holyfield adapted better to the decline.
